The list was compiled by J.P. Schwartz, who writes for them. They have up lists for 4 of the divisions in baseball. Check them out at www.topprospectalert.com

As for the list, Szymanski and Harris are WAY to high for me. Watson also seems a little high at this point. Travis Wood also seems a bit low at #7.

The Dayton Dragons also named some of their field staff for next season.
Doug Bair was named the Dragons pitching coach. He was the pitching coach of the Billings Mustangs last season.
Darren Bragg was named the hitting coach for the Dragons. This will be Braggs first season as a coach at the professional level.
